Delayed release of more hostages, prisoners after deal nearly collapses | DW News

The Hamas militant group has handed over another batch of hostages.
The 13 Israelis and 4 Thai nationals are now safe in Israel after the Red Cross escorted them from Gaza. The release was delayed after Hamas accused Israel of preventing aid trucks from reaching northern Gaza.
Afterwards, Israel released another group of 39 Palestinians who had been held in Israeli prisons. This was the second group of Palestinian prisoners to be freed as part of the four-day truce between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas has only agreed to release 50 of about 240 hostages they're believed to be holding. Family members described an agonizing wait for the second release late Saturday night, as negotiations dragged on for hours, the deal almost collapsing before the captives were released. DW’s Ben Fajzullin spoke to some of them gathered in central Tel Aviv who say they won't rest until all the hostages are freed.
